This thought experiment approaches quantum theory with a morbid twist. In fact, it implies that a copy of you may remain alive, no matter what.

Conventional accounts of the birth of quantum theory often overlook the pivotal role of one of its luminaries – and this has led to a persistent misunderstanding of what it really means, argues physicist Carlo Rovelli

Atoms in a crystal form a regular lattice, in which they can move over small distances from their equilibrium positions. Such phonon excitations are represented by quantum states. A superposition of phonon states defines a so-called phonon wavepacket, which is connected with collective coherent oscillations of the atoms in the crystal.

Albert Einstein – was he a thief, a liar and a plagiarist? Article Published by: Richard Moody Jr , Permission to reproduce the article in the same form has been taken from the Publisher on 2…

Manhattan Project physicist was infamously stripped of his security clearance in 1954.

Prof. Ehud Pines is an iconoclast. What else can you call a scientist who spent 17 years doggedly pursuing the solution to an over 200-year-old chemistry problem which he felt never received a satisfying answer using methods no other scientist thought could lead to the truth? Now, he is vindicated as Angewandte Chemie published a cover article detailing how his experiment was replicated by another research group…

Newton-John recorded nine Top 10 singles throughout the 1970s, including the duet with John Travolta of "You're the One That I Want," from the soundtrack of the 1978 musical feature film "Grease."

The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the depth-dependent spin dynamics across the interfaces of complex magnetic heterostructures. A novel technique to obtain such an 'in depth' and time-resolved view on the magnetization has now been demonstrated.

Attoclocks, or attosecond clocks, are instruments that can measure time intervals on the attosecond scale by measuring the time it takes for electrons to tunnel out of atoms. The attosecond procedure was first introduced by a research team led by Ursula Keller in 2008.

In May of 1932, a viciously anti-Semetic illustrated brochure entitled Juden Sehen Dich An ("Jews are Watching You") featured Einstein in its prologue alongside some sixty other prominant (alleged and actual) Jewish intellectuals (Robinson, 2019a p. 225). Written by a close collaborator of Josef Goebbels, the author of the brochure included a photograph of Einstein featuring the caption:

Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to the discovery of phenomena like superposition and entanglement – and today's quantum computers

Who could imagine a world without plasma TV screens? Or a blood test without measurements of key electrolytes, sodium, and potassium? Both technologies rely on the fields of radiometry and flame spectroscopy. But one scientist – a woman - who pioneered work in both areas is almost unknown. Her name is Dr. Hedwig Kohn.

Have you ever wondered why some elements are rarer than others (like gold versus lead)? Maria Goeppert Mayer loved solving puzzles as a child, and she solved that one, too. She also discovered "magic numbers." These discoveries won her the Nobel Prize in physics in 1963, becoming the first American woman to do so.

Remember building model molecules with balls and sticks in chemistry class? You have J. Robert Oppenheimer to thank for that, as a quantum chemist explains.

The once-futuristic technology has less public glamour nowadays, but it still plays a current role in science

"I am Feynman." "I am Dirac." (Silence) Beloved late physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988) first met his hero Paul Dirac (1902–1984) during Princeton University's Bicentennial Celebration in 1946 and then again at least twice, in 1948 and 1962. Most notably, the two came to heads during the so-called

Olivia Newton-John, the superstar singer who was everyone's favorite Sandy in "Grease," has died

Kit Harington is set to star in Fulwell 73's biopic of Mary Shelley, titled "Mary's Monster. Variety first broke the news that the film was in pre-production earlier this year. Fulwell 73 have teamed with Rose Pictures on the feature, which will go into production in the U.K. this summer. Clara Rugaard ("I Am Mother") […]

EXCLUSIVE: Clara Rugaard (I Am Mother) and Kit Harrington (Game Of Thrones) are set to star in a new movie about the life and circle of Frankenstein scribe Mary Shelley. The period film, which will have a contemporary sheen to it, will deal with Mary's mental struggle to write her seminal novel. Rising Danish actress […]
